THE CHAIRMAN’S REPORT

for the year ended 30 June 2011

_________________________________________________________________________________________

A charity with a significant history has major advantages. It allows us to take the long view, as we look back

across the years in supporting the less advantaged members of our community. This view tells us that those

who are at the bottom of the pyramid of inequality, still need, despite state benefit provisions, additional help

and support in meeting fuel bills. The homeless also need help in furnishing homes when they are re-housed.

The sociological expressions we use today to describe need have changed from the often harsh wording of 1811,

but the range of disability and disadvantage is very similar when we compare the grant records of the Vestry

Board that administered the charity in its early days to the present day grant applications.

The Charity remains rooted in the community with all of its current Trustees living within the area of benefit.

Each of them brings individual expertise and local knowledge.

This year has been challenging for the voluntary sector and many charities in the area of benefit, the Hamptons,

Teddington and Twickenham, have seen reductions in traditional funding.

As predicted in the last Chairman‟s Statement, the Charity faced a challenging year with the income increasing

by a small 2.3% to £1,807,000. As planned the Trustees used some £162,000 from the Reserve Fund to protect

grant giving in the year under review. This allowed the Charity to provide grants totalling £1.8 million, which

includes grants for both individuals and organisations.

1,778 fuel grants were made to households in the area of benefit with the average grant being £384 which,

while this will not cover all the costs of fuel, does provide a major support for most households. In addition,

the Charity was able to provide essential equipment for 357 applicants and also supported nearly 175

“Carelines”, a vital safety communication system. The Charity awarded 88 grants to organisations amounting

in total to £841,934 down by about 6.8% from the previous year.

The majority of these grants were for the organisations‟ continuing activities, which is vital if their services are

to continue to support our community and those who gain from their activities. Details of all the grants can be

found on pages 25-31 of this Report.

The Charity‟s investments “the endowment” rose in value by 11.4% approximately, recovering most of the loss

of value suffered in the previous year.

This year is the 200th Anniversary and we have celebrated this with several events. There has been the

anniversary church service in May and the planting of five trees and other environmental improvements in the

grounds of the Hampton library. There were events at Hampton Carnival and an open day at the Hampton Hill

Playhouse with talks, music, exhibitions and a specially commissioned play. There was also a book reading at

Strawberry Hill House as part of the Richmond Literary Festival.

The Charity will lose Marie Martin as Trustee following many years of active service. Her knowledge of social

services and care for those less fortunate will be greatly missed and, on behalf of my fellow Trustees, I would

like to thank Marie for all the support she has given to the Charity.

HAMPTON FUEL ALLOTMENT CHARITY Page 2 THE CHAIRMAN’S REPORT for the year ended 30 June 2011 _________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, I would like to thank the Charity‟s staff for continuing the smooth running of both the administration of grants and the servicing of the Panels and Board meetings of the Charity. We said to both Anne Walker and Christine Wilkins both of whom have served the Charity for many years, a farewell as they retired. We welcomed Carole Swinburn who will assist Jill Price. By the time you read this our Clerk for many years, Michael Ryder will also have retired. Thank you for taking time to read our Annual Report. If you would like to discuss any matter further, please feel free to contact me via the Clerk at the Charity‟s office. David Parish Chairman Mr D Parish Chairman Date: 2 November 2011

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT

Status & History

The Charity was created following the 1811 Enclosure Act by the granting of 10.14 acres of land for producing

a supply of fuel for the poor of the ancient parish of Hampton. Subsequently the land was rented out for

nurseries. In 1988 the land was sold for development and the sale proceeds formed the financial base for the

current work of the Charity.

Hampton Fuel Allotment Charity became a registered charity on 19 November 1962. The governing document

was a scheme of the Charity Commission dated 26 August 1981 as amended by schemes dated 27 July 1989, 4

December 1991, and 21 April 2004 and an order dated 19 August 2004. With effect from 27 April 2005 the

Trustees resolved to make various alterations to these documents with the approval of the Charity Commission.

These various documents were subsequently consolidated into a single document.

Organisational Structure

The overall strategic direction of the Charity is determined by the Trustees, who have set up various sub-

committees and made various professional appointments to assist them in ensuring the strategic goals of the

Charity are achieved.

The Trustees, who have served during the year and since the year end, are set out on page 3. Trustees are

normally appointed for a period of five years. One is ex-officio, three are nominated by the London Borough of

Richmond upon Thames, three are nominated by the Parochial Church Councils, and the remaining four are

co-opted.




_________________________________________________________________________________________

The Trustees transact the Charity‟s business through Board meetings, which are held at least four times a year

and through the sub-committees of the Board. The activities of sub-committees are reported to the following

main Board meeting.

Finance and Investment Panel: this panel meets at least twice a year and oversees the Charity‟s investment

strategy and performance. It also sets the Charity‟s annual budget.

Personnel Panel: this panel meets at least once a year and keeps under review matters relating to staffing and

staff performance.

Individual Grants Panel: this panel meets at least six times a year to consider all applications from individuals

in need. In urgent cases the panel Chairman, another Trustee and the Grants Manager have delegated power to

agree grants. Annually the Board agrees for the coming year grant and household income levels. The panel

agrees grants within the Board‟s criteria.

General Grants Panel: this panel meets at least six times a year and considers applications from organisations

seeking grants. The panel has delegated powers to make grants up to an agreed amount and to make

recommendations to the Board for grants above that amount. The Board reviews annually the amount of the

delegated grant level.

The awards of both the Individual Grants Panel and the General Grants Panel are reviewed by the full board of

Trustees at their regular meetings.

Special Panels may be formed by Trustees, under an established procedure, to consider any formal complaints

related to the conduct of the Charity and its relationship with other parties.

The day-to-day management of the Charity is entrusted to the Clerk to the Trustees, and the team of staff who

are responsible for delivery of the Trustees‟ decisions. In broad terms the Clerk services the full Board and the

panels of the Charity and receives, checks and presents applications from organisations. The Grants Manager

services the Individual Grants Panel and receives, checks and processes grant applications from individuals.

Method of Recruitment, Appointment, Election, Induction & Training of Trustees

Recruitment, Appointment & Election

One of the Trustees of the Charity is ex officio, six of the Trustees are nominated and four are co-opted.

When a vacancy for an appointed Trustee arises, the nominating authority is contacted and the Charity awaits

its selection. The nominating authority is provided with a guideline as to the skills, knowledge and experience

that would be of benefit to the Trustee Board.

Co-opted Trustees are recruited from those who are resident in the area of benefit or have a good knowledge of

it and have skills and knowledge relevant to the activities of the Charity and its area of benefit. In some cases

these are „targeted‟ through a recognised need to have specific skills to assist Trustees‟ decision making (e.g.

local G.P). It is rare that the Charity advertises for new Trustees but it will do so on those rare occasions where

this is appropriate.

The ex-officio Trustee is the incumbent of St. Mary‟s Parish, Hampton.




_________________________________________________________________________________________

Induction & Training

New Trustees receive induction and a Trustees‟ Handbook containing essential material about the Charity and

how it operates. Trustees receive regular information related to the Charity‟s activities.

The Charity recognises the need to keep existing and new Trustees up-to-date with legislative, Charity

Commission and accounting requirements. It also recognises the need for Trustees to be aware of developments

within the area of benefit which might affect their grant making. Trustees receive occasional updates from

speakers at their meetings, on matters relating to the Charity, as well as one to one induction in place of

training.

Risk Management

Trustees believe that the Charity should manage and where appropriate reduce risk through its operation. The

Clerk maintains a risk register. This is reviewed by Trustees every year with a major review taking place every

three years. The Finance and Investment Panel review the risk assessment document and draw the attention of

the Board to areas where further action may be required.

The Trustees have examined the major strategic, business and operational risks which the Charity faces. These

are recorded and regularly reviewed so that the necessary steps can be taken to manage them effectively.

Overall risks to the Charity‟s operation and assets are regarded as medium to low.

Trustees’ Responsibilities in the Preparation of Financial Statements

The Trustees are responsible for preparing the trustees‟ annual report and the financial statements in

accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards (United Kingdom Generally

Accepted Accounting Practice).

The law applicable to charities in England & Wales requires the Trustees to prepare financial statements for

each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the Charity and of the incoming

resources and application of resources of the Charity for that period. In preparing those financial statements,

the Trustees are required to:

select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently;

observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP;

make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent;

state whether applicable accounting standards have been followed, subject to any material departures

disclosed and explained in the financial statements; and

prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the

Charity will continue in business.

The Trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records that disclose with reasonable accuracy at

any time the financial position of the Charity and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply

with the Charities Act 1993, the Charity (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008 and the provisions of the

trust deed. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the Charity and hence for taking reasonable

steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.

The Trustees are responsible for the maintenance and integrity of the corporate and financial information on

the Charity‟s website. Legislation in the United Kingdom governing the preparation and dissemination of

financial statements may differ from legislation in other jurisdictions.




_________________________________________________________________________________________

Auditor

MacIntyre Hudson LLP has indicated its willingness to continue in office.

Statement as to Disclosure of Information to the Auditor

The Trustees at the date of approval of this trustees‟ annual report confirm that so far as each of them is aware,

there is no relevant audit information of which the Charity‟s auditor is unaware, and the Trustees have taken

all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to

establish that the auditor is aware of that information.

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES

Charitable Objectives

The charitable objectives for which the Charity was established are as follows:

(1) The Trustees shall first defray out of the income of the Charity the cost of the maintenance and upkeep

of the property of the Charity and all other charges and outgoings payable in respect thereof.

(2) To relieve either generally or individually persons resident in the area of the ancient town of Hampton

who are in condition of need, hardship or distress.

(3) To relieve persons resident in the said area who are sick, convalescent, disabled, handicapped or

infirm.

With the agreement of the Charity Commission the scope of the Charity‟s objectives has been increased by

widening the area of benefit as described below, and by increasing the scope of the Charity‟s work within the

area of benefit to promote the education of children and young persons, and to provide and support recreation

and other leisure-time occupations in order to improve the conditions of life in the interests of social welfare.

Charitable Activities

In pursuance of its overall charitable objectives, and the strategic goals of the Charity as determined by the

Trustees, the assets of the Charity are used to generate income in order that grants may be provided for

individuals and „not for profit‟ organisations within the area of benefit.

Assets of the Charity

The assets of the Charity consist of approximately £44.7 million of investments, £604 thousand of freehold land

and leasehold property (at cost), £21 thousand of other fixed assets, £730 thousand of debtors and £1.7 million

of bank and cash balances. The income generated from the investments and bank balances is used to meet the

charitable objectives of the scheme.

Area of Benefit

Historically the Charity‟s area of benefit was the ancient town of Hampton, now the area covered by the

parishes of St Mary‟s Hampton, All Saints Hampton and St James‟s Hampton Hill. In 1989 the deeds of the

Charity were changed so that, where the Charity‟s income was not required in the ancient town of Hampton,

help could be provided elsewhere in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames (“LBRuT”). The Trustees

have decided that, after the ancient town of Hampton, their order of priority is the remainder of the former

Borough of Twickenham and then the remainder of the present LBRuT. Individual grants are restricted to the

first two areas.




_________________________________________________________________________________________

Strategy of the Charity

In order to achieve the Charity‟s objectives Trustees balance the needs of current and potential future

beneficiaries by maintaining the value of the endowment while generating a sufficient income stream to meet

annual needs. The Charity as a grant giver provides assistance to both individual applicants and „not for profit‟

organisations. Trustees have established policies to deliver this strategy. There have been no material policy

changes since the last Annual Report.

Grant Making Policy

Under the Charity Commission Scheme, the Trustees have considerable discretion regarding grant making

policies. The Trustees‟ current guidelines are as follows:

a. To meet a proportion of the fuel bills of individuals in need;

b. To provide essential equipment for individuals in need or distress;

c. To support organisations which deliver services for those in need in the area of benefit; and

d. To allocate the Charity‟s income within the broad headings of:

1. Grants to support individuals in need;

2. Grants to hospitals and hospices;

3. Grants to organisations assisting those suffering from disability;

4. Grants for social welfare;

5. Grants for housing;

6. Grants to organisations providing additional educational support; and

7. Grants to organisations engaged in community activities.

What the Charity is unlikely to support

The Charity is unlikely to support any of the following:

a. Grants to individuals for private and post compulsory education;

b. Adaptations or building alterations for individuals;

c. Holidays except in cases of severe medical need;

d. Home decoration, carpeting or central heating;

e. Anything which is the responsibility of a statutory body;

f. National general charitable appeals;

g. Animal welfare;

h. Advancement of religion and religious groups, unless they offer a non-religious service to the

community;

i. Commercial and business activities;

j. Endowment appeals;

k. Projects of a political nature;

l. Retrospective capital grants.

How to apply for a grant

Individuals

Complete an individual grant application form, which should be sent to the Grants Manager. Application forms

are available from the principal office, St Mary‟s, All Saints and St James‟s vicarages, the Greenwood Centre

and the Citizens Advice Bureaux. Health visitors and social services also have them for applying on behalf of

their clients.




_________________________________________________________________________________________

Organisations

Organisations can obtain a general grants application form by writing to the Clerk to the Trustees or via the

Charity‟s web site. Initial discussions concerning major projects are encouraged prior to the submission of an

application.

Relationships With Related Parties

The Charity provides grant aid to a wide variety of organisations in order to meet its objectives. Sometimes

Trustees may become “related parties” due to their involvement with these organisations. The Charity provides

grant aid to organisations on the basis of an annual application and makes no commitment concerning future

support. However, over the years a number of organisations have received a grant every year. These

organisations provide valuable services for those in need within the area of benefit and further the objectives of

the Charity.

Indicators, Milestones & Benchmarks

The Charity draws up a budget each year which takes account of the likely numbers of applications from

individuals and “not for profit” organisations based on historical trends. The appropriate panel of Trustees

monitors applications throughout the year. The Charity keeps in close touch with the Local Authority, other

similar grant giving charities within the borough, and other agencies to monitor trends and changes within the

area of benefit. Both national and local economic and social trends will have a direct impact on likely grant

applications.

Trustees recognise that it is not possible to know exactly the impact they are making on the lives of individuals

without being intrusive, but do believe that in many cases the support the Charity gives to individuals does have

a substantial impact on their lives, as evidenced by the many letters and cards the Charity receives. Regular

contact with „not for profit‟ organisations and the regular receipt of their newsletters and annual reports again

provides evidence of the effectiveness of the Charity‟s grants.

Public Benefit

The Trustees have taken The Charity Commission‟s general guidance on public benefit (contained within the

recently revised guidance publication “Charities and Public Benefit”) into consideration in preparing their

statements on public benefit contained within this trustees‟ annual report.

Benefits & Beneficiaries

In accordance with its charitable objectives, the Charity continues to give grants to individuals, „not for profit‟

organisations and rent free occupancy of freehold sites within the area of benefit.

Trustees’ Assessment of Public Benefit

In monitoring the progress of the Charity in terms of delivery of public benefit, the Trustees use the following

measures of success and gather evidence accordingly:

Feedback such as “thank you” letters from recipients and from other people and organisations dealing with

the same clientelle;

Similar feedback received from „not for profit‟ organisations;

Local and national press coverage; and

Public opinion gathered through attendance at opening ceremonies and similar events for projects funded

by the Charity.

_________________________________________________________________________________________

FINANCIAL REVIEW

Financial Results of Activities & Events

The Charity generated income of £1,806,963 (2010: £1,766,680) from its investments and bank balances

valued at 30 June 2011 at £46,391,055 (2010: £42,109,402) and £50 of charitable donations (2010: £0). Some

£234,840 (2010: £187,062) was spent on the administration of the Charity, £73,383 (2010: £67,915) on

investment management costs and £1,660,586 (2010: £1,729,302) on grants payable to individuals and

organisations, resulting in net outgoing resources for the year of £161,796 (2010: £217,599).

The total cost of administering the Charity (which comprises support costs and governance costs) increased by

25.5% (2010: increased by 0.2%), and represents 13.0% (2010: 10.5%) of the total income for the year.

Reserves Policy

The Trustees‟ policy is to maintain sufficient free reserves (those unrestricted funds not committed or invested

in tangible fixed assets) for the following purposes:

At 30 June

Target 2011

One year‟s costs for generating funds and for management and administration 200,000 200,000

One year‟s grants to individuals 600,000 600,000

Six months‟ grants to organisations 450,000 450,000

Sufficient to cover contingent grants to organisations 250,000 250,000

Sufficient to support a revolving loan scheme 500,000 500,000

Community development reserve for funding large capital projects 2,500,000 1,776,286

________ ________

£ 4,500,000 £ 3,476,286

======= =======

The Charity‟s free reserves at 30 June 2011 were £3,476,286 (2010: £3,414,022). It is the Trustees‟ long term

intention to continue to increase the level of free reserves until the desired levels are met.

The Trustees have decided that there needs to be a level of protection of their grants programme so that if there

was to be unexpected disruption to the financial markets that affected income flows, the Charity would be able

to continue to support individual applicants for a year and organisations for six months while market conditions

became clearer and in the case of organisations they could adjust their activities accordingly.

The Trustees see the merit of being able to give loans to „not for profit‟ organisations where they are developing

their facilities and need support with capital costs but are able to repay the loan out of future income. Trustees

have set aside up to £500,000 for this purpose.

The Charity is located in an area of high land values and major capital developments for community use will be

very costly. Historically, the Charity has been able to build community centres, „homes for life‟ and other

capital facilities for the benefit of the Community. The Trustees wish periodically to be able to continue this

practice and in order to have such funding available need to build up a substantial reserve. They believe a

reserve of £2.5m would be appropriate. No specific project has yet been identified. The Trustees are, however,

aware of the need within the area of benefit for a variety of developments for the benefit of the local

community.




_________________________________________________________________________________________

Investment Policy

The Trustees‟ investment powers are those as defined by the Trustee Act 2000.

The Trustees are required by the Charity‟s deeds to ensure that the investments in the funds are kept under

review by one or more investment experts who are required to inform the Trustees or investment managers of

any changes that may be desirable in the funds. The Trustees may only apply any property of the Charity in

acquiring any investment upon the advice of such an investment expert.

Following an investment review the Trustees decided to change the Charity‟s investment manager and

investments in September 2006. Legal & General Investment Management Limited was appointed as

investment manager and the Charity‟s investments were transferred in specie to CAF Equitrack Fund and L&G

Fixed Interest Trust. Both these unit trusts are managed by Legal and General.

The Trustees‟ grant giving and investment policies are designed to balance the needs of current and future

beneficiaries. This objective is pursued through a balanced portfolio of investments. 50% of the endowed fund

is held in fixed interest securities and 50% in equities. This balance aims to provide long-term sustainable

income as well as capital protection and potential growth. This investment strategy was last reviewed in 2006.

The Trustees monitor the income throughout the year. As the Trustees are not able to exactly predict the

number of applications or the value of grants being requested, they prepare a budget based on historic

precedent. Transfers to and from reserves are determined at the end of the year at which point all grant

requests have been decided.

A review of this strategy was commenced in April 2011 and is continuing at present. During the year under

review, the market value of the Charity‟s investments increased by approximately £4.5 million (2010: £5

million decrease).

The endowed fund was rebalanced during the previous year to 50% of the portfolio invested in equities and

50% invested in fixed interest bonds. Investment income received during the year totalled approximately £1.8

million (2010: £1.8 million).

The CAF UK Equitrack Fund is a Common Investment Fund. The investment objective of the Fund is to track

the capital performance of the UK equity market as represented by the FTSE All-Share Index by investing in a

representative sample of stocks selected from all economic sectors (including a stock or stocks reasonably

expected to become part of that index).

The L & G Fixed Interest Trust is an authorised unit trust investing primarily in sterling investment grade

bonds, which benefits from the investment manager‟s rigorous analytical approach. The investment objective of

this Trust is to invest for high income and the prospect of capital growth from fixed interest securities,

including overseas issues. The manager will choose from a variety of fixed interest instruments, including

convertibles and preference shares. The liquidity is usually below 10% of the Trust but may be increased to

more than 10% to take account of particular market conditions and/or regulatory requirements. Gilt holdings

will not usually exceed 35%. Investments are generally restricted to investment grade securities (AAA – BBB,

or equivalent) with maximum 30% in BBB and minimum 15% in AAA/AA.

The Charity will retain similar investment benchmarks as at present. Its grant giving priorities will also remain

similar to those for the year under review.

Future Commitments

The Trustees have agreed to grant aid a number of projects and to make loans, which have not been accounted

for within the year concerned. These commitments, which are subject to various terms and conditions, total

£142,976 (2010: £183,000), and are likely to be called upon during the next year or two. A detailed analysis of

these commitments is given in the notes to the financial statements. The Trustees are satisfied that the Charity

has sufficient resources to meet these commitments.

If we become aware of any apparent material misstatements or inconsistencies we consider the implications for our report.

Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2011

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

_________________________________________________________________________________________

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING

The financial statements have been prepared to comply with current statutory requirements (principally being

the Charities Act 1993 as amended by the Charities Act 2006 and the Charity (Accounts and Reports)

Regulations 2008), under the historical cost convention, except as modified for the annual revaluation of fixed

asset investments, and in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice. The

recommendations in Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statements of Recommended Practice (revised

2005) issued by the Charity Commission in March 2005 have been followed. The accounting policies have been

applied consistently in prior years.

INCOMING RESOURCES

General donations and other similar types of voluntary income are brought into account when received, except

that donated income is included gross of any attributable tax recoverable, where relevant. Donations given for

specific purposes are treated as restricted income.

Investment income is accounted for on a receivable basis, once the dividend has been declared or the interest

has been earned.

RESOURCES EXPENDED

All expenditure is accounted for on an accruals basis. Resources expended are allocated to the charity‟s

principal activity where the costs can be identified as being directly related to that activity. All costs that cannot

be identified as relating directly to the charity‟s principal activity are categorised as either support costs or

governance costs. Any costs that cannot be specifically categorised are allocated in proportions based upon a

suitable ratio applicable to the nature of the cost involved.

Grants payable are recognised in the period in which the approved offer is conveyed to the recipient except in

those cases where the offer is conditional, such grants being recognised only when the conditions attaching to

the award are fulfilled. Grants offered subject to conditions, which have not been met at the balance sheet date,

are noted as a potential commitment, but are not treated as a liability.

TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS

All tangible assets purchased that have an expected useful economic life that exceeds one year are capitalised

and classified as tangible fixed assets. Tangible fixed assets are stated at historical cost less depreciation.

Depreciation is provided on all tangible fixed assets at rates calculated to write each asset down to its estimated

residual value over its expected useful life, as follows:

Long leasehold property 2% straight line

Fixtures, fittings and equipment 25% reducing balance

FIXED ASSET INVESTMENTS

The Charity‟s investments are included in the balance sheet at their market value. The gains or losses arising

upon their annual revaluation are included in the statement of financial activities.


Financial Statements for the year ended 30 June 2011

ACCOUNTING POLICIES

_________________________________________________________________________________________

FUND ACCOUNTING

The general fund comprises the accumulated surpluses of unrestricted incoming resources over resources

expended, which are available for use in furtherance of the general objective of the charity.

Designated funds are a particular form of unrestricted funds consisting of amounts which have been allocated

or designated for specific purposes by the trustees. The use of designated funds remains at the discretion of the

Trustees.

Restricted funds are funds subject to specific conditions imposed by donors. The purpose and use of the

restricted funds are set out in the notes to the accounts. Amounts unspent at the year end are carried forward in

the balance sheet.
